JFK as you’ve never seen him before

"Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future."

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of all dynamic and creative intellectual activity."

"When the high court of history sits in judgment on each of us, our success or failure will be measured by the answers to four questions. First, were we truly men of courage? Secondly, were we truly men of judgment? Third, were we truly men of integrity? Finally, were we truly men of dedication?"

"A man does what he must – in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures – and that is the basis of all morality."
